DINGWALL
Burgh of Dingwall
Incorporated into : 1975 Ross and Cromarty District Council (1996 Highland Area Council)
Official blazon
Azure, the sun in its splendour between five mullets Or.
And in an Escrol below the Shield is placed this Motto 'Salve Coronat'.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on March 31, 1897.
Dingwall became a Royal Burgh by King Alexander II in 1226/7 but from 1321 to 1475 was under the Earls of Ross. It was re-established as a Royal Burgh by King James IV in 1497.
The arms are taken from the device used on the Burgh seal (known since 1438). The meaning of the sun is not known, it has been speculate dthat the sun may have been derived from the crest of the Mackenzies of Tarbat whose seat, Castle Leod, is a few miles outside Dingwall.
The motto dates from 1897 and was chosen in honour of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
